June 28, 2018. Hard to believe the Mighty is STILL the best weed vape on the market. There are a few vapes more powerful, and a few vapes with better vapor, and several similar vapes with a smaller carry – but the Mighty still reigns supreme as the king. (Now available for $350 with a bunch of freebies too!)
The Mighty is a portable vaporizer made by Storz & Bickel – the same company who makes the famed and absolutely fabulous Volcano vaporizer. It came out in October, 2014, but it is STILL one of the absolute best portable cannabis vaporizers on the market.
What's in the box
The Mighty vaporizer comes with an AC power adapter/charger, a liquid/concentrate pad, 3 extra screens, a cleaning brush, a two piece plastic grinder, a filling funnel contraption, a set of spare o-rings, and of course… instructions.
Some reviewers have claimed that it comes with TWO grinders. Perhaps they just didn't actually LOOK at the stuff. The 'filling aid' as they call it, looks similar to the grinder.
How the Mighty Vaporizer Works
The Mighty is powered by two enclosed (not user replaceable) lithium-ion batteries. It uses convection heating with a bit of conduction. This means it's not heating up (and wasting) your cannabis until you inhale through the mouthpiece. Temperature settings are displayed on the bright and beautiful LCD display, along with current battery status.
Mighty Build Quality
The body of the vaporizer is rugged plastic. It almost feels like a tactical flashlight or something. It's solid and heavy, but it's still plastic. With constant usage, certain areas of the vaporizer may become slightly more fragile than the rest – but reports of significant damage are still infrequent.
The mouthpiece and the vapor path is plastic too, which is disappointing by 2016 standards. Despite this, the vapor doesn't have any plastic taste or smell.
The two batteries will provide power for about 10-12 sessions, depending on how hot and hard you vape.
How to use the Mighty Vaporizer
Pop the top off and pack the chamber with your favorite herbs. The herb chamber of the Mighty is wide and shallow, holding .15 grams of your favorite greens with a semi-loose pack. The nice thing about the Mighty is it works really well no matter how course or fine you grind, as well as how full or empty the chamber is. Finer grinds will produce more dense clouds, but will taste bitter towards the end. Courser grinds will be more consistent throughout the session. The herb chamber is wide enough to pinch and fill with your fingers, unless you have banana hands.
The filling aid is neat, it latches onto the chamber (with the top/cooling unit removed) and allows you to shimmy and shake the herb into the bowl without actually touching it. It does a nice job of filling the chamber evenly without overpacking it. The filling tool itself can also store your already ground material, which is pretty handy. It seemed gimmicky at first, but it comes in really handy when you want to fill without spill.
Turn the unit on by holding the power button (on the side) for a couple seconds. The unit will immediately begin heating to the set temperature. The Mighty has built in memory to save your previously used temperature setting. Temperature is adjusted via the easy to use UP and DOWN arrow buttons next to the LCD screen.
With normal cannabis vaping temps, the heating time of the Mighty vaporizer is 1.5 to 2 minutes. When the desired temperature is achieved, the Mighty will vibrate to let you know. The Mighty was one of the first, if not the first, to have this feature.
Mighty Vapor Quality
This is really where the Mighty shines. It's pure convection heating produces some of the best vapor possible, even rivaling many desktop units. It does a great job at low temps, as well as higher temps, although it performs best if you start at lower temps rather than jumping right in to the higher temps. The vapor path is short, but the cooling unit still manages to cool the vapor a bit.
If you're a strain connoisseur, or you really want to taste your strains and the varieties of terpenes, you'll need to take slower pulls and use lower temps. Most strains taste similar above 380 in the Mighty, at least after the first 45 seconds.
Upkeep, Cleaning & Maintenance
With daily use, a quick brushing of ABV from the chamber and screens IMMEDIATELY after each use is highly recommended. Get it wiped out while its still hot, otherwise it becomes harder to clean. About every week or two of daily use, you'll need to do a deeper cleaning. The cooling unit comes apart and is relatively easy to clean – but it can be a bit cumbersome if you don't know the shortcuts. There's a few different rubber ring seals to deal with, as well as the screens. When deep cleaning, you'll be dealing with a minimum of 4 parts, 7 if you remove the o-rings to clean them. As always, iso alcohol will come in handy – along with Q tips, paper towels, and for this unit – bendable pipe cleaners and an ISO container large enough to give the cooling unit a quick.
What I like about the Mighty
– mostly convection, for maximum efficiency. .1g of cannabis can go a long way
– looks awesome, feels awesome
– plenty of battery life
– can be used WHILE charging
– digital temp display
– herb chamber wide enough to load with fingers
– quick and easy reload/repack
– 2 year warranty
What I do NOT like about the Mighty
– plastic mouthpiece and vapor path
– batteries aren't user replaceable
– the base of the unit isn't flat, so it barely stands up on its own on a perfectly flat surface
– the unit turns OFF after 2 minutes unless you press a button or draw hard enough to make the chamber temperature drop. This is only a problem if you take long breaks between pulls.
The Mighty is a great vape with amazing vapor quality. It's a bit on the BIG side, so it may not be a perfect pocket portable for everyone. But, I actually like the size. It's great for passing around. I use mine mostly on the couch in the family room – where a desktop vaporizer wouldn't be acceptable. I already carry a giant Note 4, the Mighty is fine in my pocket. The battery life is really really good. If the unit had a flat base and a glass mouthpiece, it would likely be the best vape ever. It's priced at $400, but keep in mind it performs similar to desktop vaporizers in the same price range.
Where to buy the Mighty
NOT AT YOUR DISPENSARY! And NOT EBAY or Craigslist either. The Mighty vaporizer has been cloned by Chinese counterfitters. These units look very much like the real thing, including the packaging and accessories. However they do NOT perform, and the materials used inside are certainly not held to the same standard that Storz & Bickel uses. Any money you save buying a fake could turn into an expensive medical bill after years of inhaling Chinese leaded plastic fumes 😛
Buy your Mighty from a trusted retailer, like PuffItUp.com
They have the cheapest price, their customer service is fantastic, and they include a free 2.25″ 4-piece metal grinder. Tell Randy we sent you and you might even get a virtual high-five or something.
You can also purchase directly from Storz & Bickel.

Montana is gearing up for its second winter storm in less than a week, and it's expected to create big problems for travelers.
The National Weather Service has issued Winter Storm Warnings for all of north-central Montana through Friday.
The warning means significant amounts of ice and snow are likely, which will create major travel disruptions.
Road crews will have a tough time keeping up with the volume of snow, so some highways in central and northern Montana could become impassable at times.
Major changes were made to the overall snow forecast on Wednesday afternoon.
STORMTracker meteorologist Mike Rawlins says a wintry mix of freezing rain and sleet is now expected along Interstate 15 from near Conrad to Great Falls to Helena, which will cut down on snow totals.
Great Falls is now expected to only pick up 1-3 inches of snow through Friday. However, freezing rain could put down up to .05" of ice initially, creating treacherous travel conditions on Thursday.
Farther north and east, the storm is still expected to drop 12"+ of snow on the Hi-Line and across central Montana.
Snow will begin to develop over northern parts of the state on Wednesday night. By Thursday morning, a wintry mix of freezing rain, sleet, snow, and even rain is expected to form along I-15.
As colder air moves in aloft, this wintry mix will transition over to all snow throughout the region by late Thursday. Snow is predicted to continue into Friday morning before tapering off late Friday afternoon.
Drivers should be prepared for extreme winter driving conditions with snow and ice coating most roads.
Travel could become nearly impossible at times due to the amount of snow coming down, along with the potential for icing farther west near I-15.

The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Redrum]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
PoS~Staffed by a rather large group of imms for an Ack!Mud, there are atminimum four active IMMs working on code trying to get new thingsimplimented.Reboots happen once a week now, typically on Sunday night. Rebootscan bring in anything from new areas or skills to a batch of new bugfixes or tweaks.The mud has two active playerbases. I say this because there's theAmerican crowd, and the Asian crowd. There are typically 6-10 activeAmerican players on during normal hours, and 4-6 Asian players on lateat night.Low end leveling (A nightmare on most muds) is rather easy here,allowing for quick immersion into the world. There is currently a lotto do upon realming (Attaining the highest level group), includingquesting (You can have up to 5 uniques wearable at a time.), and rarechecking (The mud offers a wide variety of rares at realm, which cankeep you busy for weeks trying to find them all).Upon reaching Legend (The highest achievable point currently in thegame. Technically, you can only wear two more pieces of equipment, butyou do get several new skills), you can trade in experience points forquest points, encouraging high level characters to do more than justidle, with more things in the works for legends to do and strive for.As with all ack muds, classes and races are a little unbalanced. Goodaligned adepts still struggle to do some of the things evil alignedadepts can do easily (IE, quest/gather equipment), and not all racesare currently useful, but unlike most Ack muds, the imm staff on PoSare working with the players to fix this and strengthen the varietyplayers have when chosing their character.The PK system is the same old established Ack Mud system, and isn'treally stressed on PoS as the playerbase is still trying to establishitself. Most players are old Ack players who have known each other foryears, and tend to do very little serious PKing verse each other. Thatis not to say the mud does not cater to people who want to PK, asthere are several players who can PK well and spar often to keep theirskills up.The class system is very tiered. There are 5 basic classes everyonegets (War, Thi, Cle, Mag, Psi), with 80 levels per class. This in turntranslates to two remort classes (Necromancer, Sorcerer, Knight, Monk,Assassin). After that, players can choose from 1 of 6 (Exorcist,Living Shadow, Dark Templar, Blademaster, Malakim, or Deity) realmclasses, each which has two different Legend classes to chose from atend game, for a total of 9 classes worth of skills at max level.Character paths are heavily defined by the remort classes you take,as well as the realm classes. Legend classes for the most part add alittle flavor, but only a few REALLY affect how your character will beplayed.Unlike most Ack!Muds, eq stats are insane or extreme. A race with lowdex will find its AC lacking before uniques and rare equipment, justas a race with low strength will find its hitroll/damroll lacking.A stock adept probably won't last verse a fully equiped, rared,uniqued adept, as it should be. I view this as a reward for people whoput forth the effort to gather that equipment, and not as a punishmentfor people who want to be able to stand toe to toe with moreexperienced players without putting forth the same effort.There are currently 5 clans, of which 3 are active. The current fiveclans are Helsing, Unleashed, The Fallen, The Unforgiven, andCelestial Abyss.Celestial Abyss is a neutral, newbie friendly clan with a lot of goodinformation for begining players.The Fallen is a pk active clan with a lot of active members.Unleashed are 'Team Asia' so to speak, with most of the mudsAsian-located players in it.Helsing are a semi-active clan that claims to hunt 'Super naturals'with 3 active members who are almost always on, and severalsemi-active members.The Unforgiven is sort of the dark horse clan. Sometimes they arevery active, and sometimes you can go for days without seeing theirmembers.If I was just starting out on the mud, I'd chose CA, Fallen, orUnleashed and then make a choice on a permanent clan once I had abetter grasp of the mud. Or, better yet, bring your friends, and pushan inactive clan out of a clan slot. Haha.There -are- supers (Werewolves, Vampires) in this mud, but theyaren't currently active. (There may be a few active supers on themud, but not many) Supers are currently in the process of beingre-vamped and re-balanced, so ideas are welcome while this is beingdone.The quest system is standard Ack!Mud fair, being level/mob/timerdriven. There are a few alternate means of getting quest points, butquesting still remains the fastest.Other than that, the atmosphere is very friendly and people areincredibly helpful. The imm staff is active, or will at least tell youwhen real life issues are piling up so they have to take a few daysoff. The only bad thing is that maybe they are a little too relaxedwhen it comes to dealing with problem players, and maybe other thanthe big three, there isn't much power delegated.There was one problem player who drove away at least 5 other playersthat they kept trying to rehabilitate rather than get rid of.Two or three of the imms don't have the power to run games or immquests, which is a shame.Still, easily the best Ack!Mud I've played in forever, and with acontinued growth of it's player base, I can see it becoming the best.One wish of mine would be that they contact other imms or allowpeople with code experience the chance to add to the code. There aretons of ACK! snippets out there and players with ACK! codingexperience who have little things to offer. Allowing those players theability to volunteer their code to the mud would be nice. -Redrum 16MAY06

Chin wagging- Daddy's Beard
Posted by Heather at Sunday, June 27, 2010
Often, when Daddy holds you, Katy, you like to study his face and look at his features- hair, eyes, mouth. One of the things you like to do is tug at his beard, It's almost as if by tugging on his beard, you are verifying his identity. Now that you have a stronger, steadier grip, your tugs are a little harder and a littler longer. Ouch (for Daddy)!

This group shares an address and phone number with the Virginia Interfaith Center and Public Policy, a group with decidedly pro-illegal leanings.
The article states:
The Commonwealth Institute for Fiscal Analysis estimates that illegal immigrants contribute between $379 million and $453 million a year in income, sales, property and other taxes.
But the article then notes that you can't actually do this:
The study recognizes there is no way to calculate exactly how much illegal immigrants pay in taxes.
So instead, they just guess:
It uses figures from a 2005 Pew Hispanic Center study that estimates there are 250,000 to 300,000 illegal immigrants in Virginia. The center estimates that Virginia's at least 109,000 undocumented households earns an average of $27,400 annually, resulting in at about $3 billion in income.
"Like all other workers in our state, they spend that money,'' Cassidy said. "And like most low-wage workers, they spend almost all of that money.''
Cassidy said the study accounted for about $4,000 each year that would be sent back to the immigrant's home country and not put back into the economy.
The study estimated that about half of the illegal immigrant workers paid income taxes, meaning they and their employers also contributed to Social Security and Medicare, benefits they are ineligible to receive.
This is not a "study". They took an estimate of how many illegals were in the state. They took a guess as to how much money each one would earn. They then guessed how much of that money they would spend, guessed how many people lived in a home, and guessed what their income tax rate would be.
They added up all the numbers, and said "that's how much tax they pay".
But the sales tax for food is 1.5%, and many illegals mostly by food. If they buy stuff over the internet, they might not collect sales tax, but instead have to pay "use tax", but the illegals wouldn't be filing their 'use tax' forms.
They live multiple people to a home, which means the per-person property taxes are low.
They have to pay gas tax, except a lot of them drive bicycles and even mopeds that they modify to go faster than the 35-mph legal limit (there's a bill about that in the Virginia legislature now). So often they aren't buying much gasoline.
They pay payroll tax, but only if they are being paid "legally", which many of them aren't. Day laborers are often contracted as independent agents, and expected to do their own payroll and income taxes.
This of course all casts into doubt their numbers. Then you have to do a "relative" cost analysis.
If the illegals all disappeared, SOME jobs would go with them, since some of this work is to support the illegal immigrant community. But most of the jobs would still remain, and would be filled by legal workers. Not only would they pay those same taxes, they might be paid MORE money for the jobs because of less competition, so they'd pay MORE in taxes. And they would be less likely to skip out on taxes.
In the end, I imagine the tax collected would INCREASE if the illegals were gone. The economy might shrink some, because there would be fewer people.
Then you have to look at the cost side of the ledger. How much does it cost to have all these poor illegals?
Well, we already know that adding a typical poor family to a state COSTS the state money. That's for legals or illegals. That's why counties try to encourage upscale home building, and discourage condos and rental units. A rich person and a poor person use the same roads, but the rich person adds a lot more to the economy for that road use, for example.
And these illegals are mostly poor people. They don't contribute enough to pay for the COMMON services, but as poor people they also use ADDITIONAL services — free medical care, social service programs, food stamps, etc. Some are hard for the illegals to get, others very easy to come by.
The numbers people throw around here for school are mostly low. The AVERAGE cost for a student is between 10-14 thousand dollars. But the average well-educated white student from a middle class family costs very little to educate, maybe 6-7 thousand dollars. The reason the average is so high is bacause of the mandated special education needs of other students.
Like illegals, who need special english programs, and head start, and remedial training, and tutors, and extra counselors, and spanish-speaking administrators. Also school lunches, school breakfasts.
So my guess is each illegal student is going to be ABOVE the 10-14 thousand dollar cost.
Since my total virginia tax bill doesn't seem to quite cover the stated cost of educating my two children, it is clear that the taxes collected won't come NEAR to paying for a poor illegal with 5 children, one of whom has children of her own (yep, 12-year-olds are having children at my son's middle school).
Aid to families with dependent children. Medicare payments. Child tax credits, refundable. Child day care tax credits.
The cost of a poor segment of society is enormous. Encouraging millions more to be that poor segment is absurd.

Singer recently unveiled his debut single 'Wall Of Glass'
Liam Gallagher has admitted that he would prefer to still be in Oasis than perform as a solo artist.
The singer played his first solo gig in Manchester earlier this week and unveiled his new single 'Wall Of Glass'.
But he admitted that he would rather be back with his old bandmates.
"Yeah I prefer that. I mean, listen, I mean I prefer to be in Oasis. Let's get that … We know that. I prefer to be in a band," he told Radio X.
"But that's not happening, so you can't sit at home twiddling your thumbs, do you know what I mean?
"I'm not going to get a job. I guess, I mean I was always going to get back into it but I've got a band, man, the band are good but I guess my name is on top of it which suits me fine, man."
Meanwhile, Liam Gallagher has addressed ongoing speculation about a possible Oasis reunion, responding to rumours that the band could reform for the Ariana Grande Manchester benefit concert this weekend. The band have "unfinished business," he admitted in an interview where he was quizzed about the rumoured reunion.
He added: "If Oasis ever got back together… if they do, they do. If they don't, they don't. A lot of people go, 'Oh, leave it in the past, you were great then'. Mate, if we ever got back together, it would be happening. There'd be no dodgy gigs, it'd be bang on. So there is unfinished business there, but we'll see what happens. In the meantime, we're two little solo boys doing our little things innit."
He also recently said that he "wouldn't dare" anger the notoriously fanatical fanbase of dormant boy band One Direction.
On his debut solo single 'Wall Of Glass', Liam sings: "You were sold the one direction, I believe the resurrection is on". Speaking to Pitchfork, Gallagher denied that the lyric was a reference to the pop group, saying: "I may look stupid but wouldn't dare get on the wrong side of One Direction fans."
The former Oasis frontman also recently spoke favourably of singer Harry Styles' solo music in an interview with NME. Liam said: "I don't mind it, man. There's some interesting bits in it. I mean, I don't know how it fucking goes, but fair play to him. I'm sure, like, it's a bigger fucking cost. I've got the weight of Oasis still hanging over me and I'm sure I'll always be that guy from Oasis, so I'm sure he's carrying an equal weight. If he wants to get out of that pop world and into something with a bit more substance I think that's a good thing."
Liam Gallagher is expected to release his debut solo album 'As You Were' in October.

Bedford & Kempston Labour Party have selected Graham Tranquada as their candidate. He has lived in Putnoe for 25 years and spent 30 years serving as a Firefighter with Bedfordshire Fire & Rescue Service. Recently, he has been leading a number of local campaigns to protect public services.
Graham said after his selection:
"I'd like to pay tribute to Sallyanne's work as a councillor for Putnoe. However I believe many of her local supporters, who've voted Lib Dem in the past, are now looking around for an alternative. I will be campaigning hard in this election to give the people of Putnoe a real choice and be a strong voice for change in Borough Hall."

Anoosh and Arash are young men who make up the DJ-producer duo called Blade & Beard. Nothing special about that fact until you realise that Anoosh and Arash are from Teheran, Iran.
There are two aspects to the Xinyao documentary The Songs We Sang, directed by Eva Tang viz. the objective and the subjective.

This Academy Award nominated 2013 documentary contains an element of 'what might have been'.
Vivian Maier was an amateur photographer who worked as a nanny & housekeeper. Prior to her death in 2009, nobody had ever seen her work. However, John Maloof (who co-directed the film with Charles Siskel) discovered some of her photographs at an auction and after Maier's death, uncovered her life through interviews with people who knew her. Maloof subsequently scanned the images and put them on the Internet, where as you might have guessed, the images went viral.
Critical acclaim and interest in Maier's work quickly followed, and since then, Maier's photographs have been exhibited in North America, Europe, and Asia, while her life and work have been the subject of books and documentary films.
Maier was an eccentric spinster and a very private person, who took photographs obsessively. The photographs are striking and reveal a gift for capturing moments of emotional and intellectual weight. The documentary recounts Maloof's efforts to find out as much as possible about the reclusive Maier.
It also examines our own attitudes towards art and artists. When you consider someone like Van Gogh who was unrecognised during his lifetime, at least Van Gogh was an artist intent on being successful, whereas Maier seemingly had no interest in exhibiting her work. Was this evidence of mental illness? Can the artistic impulse only be satisfied by public exposure, acceptance and recognition? Is it at all possible, to make art for yourself and yourself alone?
These are important questions which the film barely addresses – there is an inherent conclusion that because the work is so good, it deserves to be seen, whatever the actual wishes of the artist are/were. If taken out of the context of Maier's daily life (as a nanny/housekeeper), would the work have lost its resonance and power? Who knows?
When Maier was an unknown, her work had no 'value' but once the public recognition came into the picture, so to speak, a value is then attached to the work. But should not the 'value' of the work be intrinsic, independent of how 'popular' it was? Having learnt a little about who Vivian Maier was through this film, it is fair to argue that given a choice, she probably would not have wanted the whole wide world looking at her work or even finding out who she is/was. Which leaves the viewer with mixed feelings by the time the movie concludes. You decide.

I was invited by my buddy Michael Lim (Singapore Film Society) to a screening of Leonardo Cinieri Lombroso's When the Rooster Crows, a documentary on diversity and richness of Southeast Asian Cinema. The documentary highlights four indie film-makers viz. Brillante Mendoza (Philippines); Pen-Ek Ratanaruang (Thailand); Eric Khoo (Singapore); and Garin Nugroho (Indonesia).
Ostensibly, I was supposed to contribute to a post-screening panel discussion with Lombroso and Michelle Goh (who acted in Eric's Mee Pok Man and still looks fresher than the first time I met her 20 years ago!) but really had nothing much relevant to say, except that Eric was a buddy of mine too.
Since I got to watch the movie free of charge, I thought it'd only be fair to share a little review. Conceptually, I loved the way that Lombroso approached the movie not merely as a standard documentary but as a film in its own right. Thus, there was a narrative running through its 88 minutes (that's a very Eric Khoo number, by the way) that not only featured the subject film-makers and their films but also the context of their muse (their countries of origin).
The manner in which one segment segued into the next seamlessly added to this overall effect and emphasised Lombroso's observation that even though the four countries highlighted are often differentiated from one other, there were many similarities as well. In particular, in the obstacles that each independent film scene faced in their own countries – whether it be social or political. What was evident was that each scene, as represented by each film-maker, dug deep into the human soul – the belief, the creativity and the fighting spirit – in order to produce works of film art that resonated beyond their respective shores.
One of the obvious takeaways was that each film scene needed to support one another so that South East Asian indie film could be developed and nurtured. Thus, perhaps a more vibrant regional film scene – one that cross-pollinated across boundaries would be a solution to the usual gripes about lack of local support.
For me personally, there was an allegory to be drawn with the music scene here – that we needed to reach out to the music scenes regionally and not be too myopic about confining the building of a fan base to the hard ground that is Singapore. Definitely something to chew on.
More information about the Singapore Film Society may be obtained from its official website.
Directed by James Toback.
Starring Alec Baldwin.
The premise of Seduced and Abandoned is simple enough. Director James Toback and actor Alec Baldwin try to sell a film concept at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012, and basically make a documentary about the experience.
Along the way they interview influential directors like Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Roman Polanski & Bernardo Bertolucci to get their takes on Cannes and the movie industry as a whole. The duo also talk to actors Ryan Gosling, Jessica Chastain, Diane Kruger and James Caan.

It's easy to get a lil cynical about Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters' marketing their upcoming new album Sonic Highways by way of a eight-part documentary series on HBO. But the cynicism will evaporate when one watches the first episode as Grohl and co record in Chicago and proceeds to pay tribute to the Chicago musicians who made a difference – from Buddy Guy to Cheap Trick to Steve Albini to Naked Raygun. This is done with a love, respect and fervour that demonstrates once again that Grohl has his heart and soul in the right place – he's one of us…
Check out the complex yet visceral opening track from Sonic Highways, "Something From Nothing"….
Regular PoP visitors will be aware of the fact that I am a huge Bowie fan and was greatly disappointed when I missed the David Bowie Is exhibitions organized by the Victoria & Albert Museum, when I was in London last year with TypeWriter.
So imagine my delight when I learned of a documentary about the exhibition that not only highlighted its various exhibits but also included various experts chiming in with personal experiences and opinions on the influence of Bowie on modern pop culture.
At the same time, it felt me with grave regret at missing the exhibition and hoping for a chance to get a crack at it one day in the future. But in the meantime, this documentary is a splendid way to whet the appetite. In any case, the documentary is essential for all Bowie fans and any serious scholar of art and pop culture.
Tickets are now available for online purchase at over 80 cinemas across the U.S. The film is scheduled to screen on one day, Tuesday, September 23, 2014, with additional cinemas being added to the list on a regular basis. Simultaneously, the V&A exhibition in London will be opening at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago (MCA) on that same Tuesday as well.
The true measure of a rock star is the kind of fans he or she has. Springsteen & I is a documentary with a difference – it was made for Springsteen fans by Springsteen fans! By the end of the documentary, you will be convinced about the depth of love and passion that Springsteen fans hold for their icon. Judging from the diversity in age and nationality, it's clear that Springsteen's appeal covers a broad range of fans. This special connection is what makes this documentary unique. Also worth checking out – numerous previously unseen archive footage of performances from throughout Springsteen's career. The DVD bonus features include performances from 2012's Hard Rock Calling (including two songs with Paul McCartney) and fan homemade video submissions.
Considering the number of iconic films that The Rolling Stones have been associated with – Gimme Shelter, Sympathy for the Devil, Performance and Cocksucker Blues, it was simply not enough for director Brett Morgen to come up with a by-the-numbers 50th anniversary retrospective. Which, to his immense credit, he didn't!
Fact is, Crossfire Hurricane manages to provide a kaleidoscopic perspective of events that made the Stones the living rock n' roll legends that they are. One very crucial decision made was not to shoot the Stones as they currently are – so they only provide the relevant voiceover but visually, the viewer is never distracted from the story by how the Stones look like in 2013 (basically, old).
In this manner, Crossfire Hurricane is able to be interesting to new and old fans alike. It never comes across as a nostalgic exercise but a critical study of key events of the Stones' career that intersected with the milestones of rock n' roll. Thus, this documentary film is essential for longtime fans as well as rock scholars.
There can be no doubt about The Eagles' place in rock history. Biggest selling album of the 20th century, inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, a comeback album that sold in excess of 5 million in these troubled times for the music industry and a best-selling live show that continues to run and run.
Not to mention, a sideshow of controversy that has dogged the band despite the absolute highs. The high profile suit by former member Don Felder against The Eagles and the publication of Felder's 'tell-all' book, Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles (1974 – 2001) has tarnished somewhat the reputations of Don Henley and Glenn Frey (the co-leaders of the band) but that has not stopped the musical juggernaut from continuing to pull in the big bucks.
This documentary – as you might imagined – tells the story from Henley and Frey's perspective. Both men are rather dismissive about Felder in the interviews and Frey evens gets in some descriptive expletives for good measure. The fact that the duo come across smug and self-righteous leaves a very bad taste in the mouth.
The first DVD recounts the band's rise to fame and implosion in 1980 with rare footage and incisive comments from the key players. The second DVD recounts the band's even more impressive comeback beginning the Hell Freezes Over tour in 1990.
Of the two DVDs, the first one is the most exciting as one gets to witness the making of iconic songs ("Take It Easy", "One of These Nights") and albums (Hotel California) and how Henley and Frey went from backing Linda Ronstadt to having the best-selling album of the 20th Century – Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975). The second DVD, well, is simply too sanctimonious at times with the unwelcome sight of Henley and Frey justifying their arrogance – rather unwatchable at times. Overall, the excellent first DVD is worth the price of admission though.

That's the big question that industry insiders, fans and musicians have debated endlessly over the last several years.

As a card-carrying Floyd geek, there's precious little that I don't know about the band after years of reading books and viewing documentaries. But I always welcome new documentaries that share further insight into the rock phenomenon that was Pink Floyd. On this occassion, the focus is on the 1975 album, Wish You Were Here, which just might be my favourite one of the lot – and that's really saying something!

This "Definitive Documentary of the World's Greatest Rock Band" was first aired last year on BBC TV Two in two parts. Now commercially available in DVD, the documentary is well worth repeated viewings especially if you are a Queen fan, which I wager would be quite a lot of you out there.
As a fan myself, it is easy to be caught in the thrill of Queen's early years as they released one exciting album after another – A Night at the Opera, A Day at the Races, News of the World, Jazz and The Game – racking out numerous worldwide chart hit singles in the process. Some contemporary insight is provided by guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor and previously unseen footage is also brought to bear in order to flesh the incredible success that Queen obviously was (and still is)
The latter half of the documentary comes to a sad conclusion naturally with the untimely death of singer Freddie Mercury 20 years ago in 1991. It is difficult not to be choked by emotion if like me, you loved Mercury for his incredible talent, showmanship and charisma. The interviews can get almost unbearably personal as May and Taylor share their last memories of Mercury on video.
At the end there is a sense that even in this day and age, Queen's legacy remains strong and May/Taylor have done a good job to ensure that the music of Queen will never be forgotten. Essential for all Queen fans.
Mention the name "Ozzy Osbourne" and chances are the notorious legend of the rock star biting off the head of a bat thrown on stage in 1982 will rear its ugly head (sorry). Pretty much the reputation of Osbourne is built on being the original singer of Black Sabbath and being the ultimate rock madman (primarily in the 80s, after being sacked by Sabbath).
This documentary attempts to present Osbourne in all his contradictory glory. The satanic figure who kneels in silent prayer before a gig, the drug-addled alcoholic who has been clean and sober for the last five years, the heavy metal pioneer who's favourite band is The Beatles and so on.
Opening in the present, the documentary follows Osbourne on tour at various locations around the world – his rituals, his preparations and his process. Then, we are presented with a history lesson as Osbourne and various relevant interviewees – Black Sabbath members, his wife Sharon, his five children and even Paul McCartney (!) – share insights into the life and times of Osbourne.
Of course, much screen time is given over to accounts of Osbourne's crazed antics that even outgross Motley Crue's Tommy Lee, no slouch in the rabble rousing stakes himself! Osbourne's self destructive habits continue even as he is reinvented as reality star in the Osbournes, which unfortunately only cements his reputation as the aging rock star drunk.
However, there is a happy ending to the narrative as Osbourne reveals that he managed to pull his life from the abyss of alcoholism and drug addiction due to the example of his youngest son, Jack. A touching resolution to this cautionary tale of rock n roll excess. Ozzy and metal fans in general will no doubt enjoy the intriguing insights into Osbourne's life.

What started out as a straightforward documentary about the making of a new Metallica album turned into quite something else. Yes, there is still an album – St. Anger – that is made but the journey there is a little different from your typical "making of" documentary. Basically, life happens, as first longtime bassist Jason Newsted leaves the band and then lead singer James Hetfield checks into rehab for alcohol abuse, leaving Lars Ulrich and Kirk Hammett to figure out the future of the band, together with Phil Towle, a "performance-enhancing" coach hired by Metallica's management.
Well, there are two ways of looking at this documentary. If you're a fan, you'll probably appreciate the behind the scenes, intimate moments revealing the relationships between the band members. If you're not a fan then you might be irritated by these millionaires acting out, dwelling on their "rich man rock star" problems which seem to have no bearing on normal life.
Truth be told, you can include me in the latter category. Metallica is probably the biggest metal band on the planet then (and now) and to witness their petty power-plays and juvenile games is a little much to swallow. That said, as a music lover, I appreciate their sincere efforts in resisting self-caricature and self-parody, as they strive to remain relevant as music makers.
The piece de resistance? Watching Dave (Megadeth) Mustaine whining about how hurt he still is about being kicked out of Metallica all those years ago. Hello? Hasn't his own band sold in excess of 25 million records? What does he have to complain about? Honestly, I don't whether to laugh of cry, all a bunch of crybabies severely out of touch with reality.
So there you go. Fans of Metallica and metalheads should definitely watch this but if not, stay away…you have been warned.
U2 360° At The Rose Bowl (Universal)
I hate U2! Thirty years after I first heard I Will Follow, the Irish quartet continue to amaze – now only with their magnificient music – but also in their dogged commitment to their craft and to their fans. How do they do it? This astonishing record of U2's 25 October 2009 gig at the Rose Bowl prove that Bono, Edge, Larry Mullen Jr and Adam Clayton are still on top of the game. Besides the band, the star of the show is the incredible structure that functions as the stage. In the 2nd DVD, you can watch (slack-jawed, I'd wager) the documentary on how U2 and their team put 360° together, and your admiration for the whole operation will only grow.
The 1st DVD features the concert proper and it is a glorious affair as U2 performs old and new material including favorites like Beautiful Day, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, The Unforgettable Fire, Vertigo, Magnificient, With or Without You… you know the drill. For me personally, the best moment was when, during Walk On, Bono brought out U2's considerable influence to bear in favour of the detained Burmese dissident Aung San Suu Kyi, encouraging fans to wear masks of Aung San Suu Kyi. Now, how many mega-selling bands can pull off such political activism within the context of a rock concert? Truly astonishing.
If you're a U2 fan (which I'm sure most of you are), you'll thoroughly enjoy this live DVD.

ALCHEMY: DIRE STRAITS LIVE (Universal)
One of the biggest bands of the 80s gets the reissue treatment with the release of the Alchemy DVD and CDs chronicling Dire Straits concert at the Hammersmith Odeon, London on 23rd July 1983, almost twenty-seven years ago! Captured just before the release of the band's biggest selling album – Brothers in Arms – and comprising Mark Knopfler (vocals & guitars), John Illsley (bass), Alan Clark (keyboard), Hal Lindes (guitar), Terry Williams (drums), this is Dire Straits in fine fettle playing material largely from the Making Movies and Love Over Gold LPs.
Whilst the video is nothing much to look at, to be honest, the audio is truly excellent as the band delivers such classics as Romeo & Juliet, Private Investigations, Tunnel of Love, Telegraph Road and of course, Sultans to Swing, impeccably to an enthusiastic audience. As always with Dire Straits, it's the guitar skills of leader Knopfler that is the highlight and he does not disappoint, I'm glad to report.
Also included in this reissue DVD are bonus TV performances of Tunnel of Love and Sultans of Swing as well as a interesting BBC Arean documentary on the band. The Arena doc is very insightful, capturing the band after two grueling years of recording and touring and sets the stage for the personnel changes that the band goes through in the years to come. Fans of the 80s will not want to miss this.

I must warn you that if you are easily upset and offended, then DO NOT watch this troubling documentary concerning sexual abuse and pedophilia within the Roman Catholic Church. The documentary initially focuses on one priest, Father Oliver O'Grady, who agreed to be interviewed by journalist/filmmaker Amy Berg. However, as the story unfolds it becomes evident that the incidences of the sexual abuse and the perpetrators are being covered up and protected by the higher echelons of the Catholic Church!
O'Grady, now residing in his native Ireland and receiving a healthy pension from the Church, recounts his offenses in a genial, sometime flippant manner which belie the severe nature of his acts. It is estimated that he abused more than a hundred children, with his youngest victim being a 9 month old baby. Like I said, disgusting!
As monstrous as O'Grady is – and believe me, he is – he is merely symptomatic of a hideous conspiracy permeating the entire Catholic Church in harboring these sexual offenders in the name of self-interest, abandoning and exposing the children to the lusts and desires of these sick individuals.
Quite often, it is tough to watch the victims (and their families) relive the horrendous chapters which have scarred their lives forever. The Catholic Church has failed in living up to their responsibilities to the children in its care, it is so incomprehensible (and reprehensible) that the lives of the victims were so callously treated.
Filmmaker Berg has certainly succeeded in raising the ire of anyone who watches Deliver Us From Evil. However, the film ends rather pathetically as two of the victims are turned away by the Vatican (maybe that was the point being made by Berg). The frightening thing is that despite the obvious evidence, this abuse may be allowed to continue in Catholic churches as Catholic leaders are unwilling to expose the Church to a legal accounting. Truly disturbing.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 4529
rpm-3.0.3-0.12: Package upgrade VERY BROKEN
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:51 EDT
After upgrading to rpm-3.0.3-0.12, rpm -Uvh is causing
severe problems for me. It appears to enter the new package
version in the rpm database, and remove the old version, but
the files from the new version are NEVER INSTALLED. So I am
left with the package completely gone.
This happened for me on both rawhide-release-19990814-1 and
tar-1.13.6-1. Installing from scratch (also with rpm -Uvh)
does not seem to be affected by this bug.
Fixed in rpm-3.0.3-13.

I came across a really inexpensive idea for an all-purpose craft pan the other day. I was shopping for a new litter pan for the cats (1 cat+3 semi-grown kittens=need for more than 1 litterbox). Anyway, Target has mini size litter pans for only $2.00. I was thinking it was the perfect size for the kids to use to play with their moon sand, play dough, etc. and not get it all over. Then I realized, it was also a perfect size for doing messy background techniques, etc. in. It's almost as cheap as a dollar store disposable aluminum pan, but re-usable, more durable, and easy to clean. It's big enough to hold whole sheets of 8.5 x 11 cardstock, but not much bigger. It's also deep enough to hold a few inches of liquid, or shaving cream, or whatever, but not as deep as a full size litter pan- so easier to store.
If anyone else has seen any good dollar store-type items for stamping lately, please share. Just click reply to post at the bottom of this post. Speaking of which- I also noticed that the stampable mugs are on sale at AC Moore this week for only 59 cents.
Happy Stamping!

This brings up a floating Table palette that lets you choose how many rows and columns you'd like for your table, and as it soon as it appears, your table appears in your document (at the current location of your cursor) so you can see what it looks like while you're making changes in the palette. You can choose border thickness and color (just click on the gray color swatch in the Cell Border section), and the background color for your table all within the palette. There are also buttons for how your text will be aligned within your tables (top, center, bottom, etc.). When the table looks good to you, just close the floating palette. Once your table has been created, you can edit the cell width and depth by simply grabbing the divider lines and dragging.

After a third quarter in which markets skidded and tumbled to the close, Treasuries were in their glory. The U.S. long government bond category was the only one whose performance was in the double-digit range. It catapulted to 27.9%, zooming past the second best group, Muni California Long, which was up 4.5%. Long bets on Treasuries comprised the top three, and were up 4.3%.
Those performances seemed to contradict a lot of gloomy predictions that all public entities - from tiny municipals all the way to federal government - had finally reached the limit on their ability to borrow and honor their debts. Investors reacted to Standard & Poor's first-ever downgrade of the United States' long-term rating to AA+ by looking around and deciding that they still had faith in Treasuries.
"This is similar to 2008, when people were looking for safe havens wherever they could get them," says David Kathman, a senior mutual fund analyst at Morningstar.
Equities struck investors as anything but safe, and dropped 15.3% on a whole, according to Lipper. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 slid 224.34 points, or 16.6%, from July 22 to Aug. 8. With all the volatility, the index stayed below 1,219 through the end of the third quarter.
"I've heard a lot of equity fund managers say, 'The market does not care about fundamentals,' " Kathman says. "Things that are perceived as depending on the broader economy are going up and down in concert."
The third quarter had one of the highest levels of stock correlation among global equities, says Omar Aguilar, chief investment officer of equities and multi-asset strategies at Charles Schwab Investment Management. Emerging market and industrial fund classes suffered as a result of investor apprehensions.
Latin America stock and China-region equity funds dropped 27.5% and 25.4%, respectively. Investors worried that demand for industrials and commodities would abate if GDP growth in emerging markets, particularly China, slowed drastically. Industrials plunged 24.5%.
"If China slows down, that would ... hurt the global economy," Kathman says. "It would make a lot of companies miss earnings expectations, and it would keep rippling around the globe."
"They were trading in tandem regardless of earnings. In an ordinary quarter, we do not see that many levels of high correlation," Aguilar says.
The investing picture looked bleak in terms of asset flows, too. Stock funds had $31 billion in net losses in July, $29.2 billion in August and $6.9 billion during September. Total mutual fund industry assets dipped below $1 trillion in September for the first time since December 2010, according to Morningstar.
As for where clients go from here, industry experts say investors will continue to hunker down in relative safe-haven assets until the volatility passes. One encouraging sign is the investment product industry is coming up with more strategies that target retirement funds, says Chris Philips, a strategist in Vanguard's investment strategy group. Those approaches tend to be more balanced.
"Investors in those portfolios do much less reacting to the market," Philips says. "There is less timing and portfolio manipulation." That's just as well, because investors - and the overall markets - have already seen plenty of thrilling fluctuations.

the look of apps created on vista is kewl and it would be nice to have the same aero theme as default when apps are run on other themes ... the way to do this is to specify the theme at the root. So it would look something like this.
<ResourceDictionary Source="/PresentationFramework.Aero, Version=184.108.40.206, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, ProcessorArchitecture=MSIL;component/themes/aero.normalcolor.xaml" />
Bear in mind that the syntax uses a strong name URI. This is because the app fails to load the assembly from the GAC; the CLR does not support loading dlls with a partial name from the GAC.
To get the Version, Culture and PulblicKeyToken right go to \windows\assembly and check the values for the corresponding dll.
With the above syntax you can now build apps which look like the media player 11 on XP... have fun coding.

Nice country. I will be back in the summer.

I did this in the spring of 2014. The drive is reason enough to go there, but if you have time to play along the way, there are hiking opportunities and other outdoor things to do. I enjoyed the small towns too.

The season is not over yet but every top club is already focusing on the summer transfer window. Although there are still several big games before the end of the current campaign, chiefs of the top European clubs have already begun talks to strenghthen their teams in the summer.
Juventus' Beppe Marotta is one of those who have alredy started to work for the next campaign. The bianconeri CEO wants to take a new striker and a new centre midfielder in the summer and both reinforcements could arrive from England.
Juventus, in fact, are interested in signing Manchester United ace Anthony Martial who is reportedly on his way out of the Old Trafford this season. The same goes for Emre Can who is out of his Liverpool contract in the summer. Both Can and Martial have also been targeted by Bayern Munich, reports in Italy claim.
If Martial joins Juventus in the summer one striker could leave the Allianz Stadium during the next transfer campaign. Cuadrado, for example, seems to have attracted the interest of Real Madrid who are looking for a possible repalacement for Lucas Vazquez, a target of Liverpool should Salah leave Anfield Road at the end of the season.
The summer transfer window has yet to begin but the main top clubs are already working to strengthen their squads at the end of the season.

Fast Execution
We offer fixed executable narrow spreads for all products except in extraordinarily fast markets, when the inter-bank dealing rates are wide as well. Any wider than usual quotes do not represent opportunistic revenue to us but rather reflect the real cost of the market.
Other brokers claim to offer fixed spreads in all situations but they suspend your trading capacity or manually quote an off-market single-sided price after you indicated buy/sell in fast markets.
We check and execute orders all the times using our system and will never miss your orders.
Other brokers execute your order manually in batches, sometimes missing your orders especially when your order price is near the high/low of the period. Even worse, when you enquire about your missed execution, they insist the market never reached your order price.

Invoice Template Belgium
Invoice template belgium – dhanhatban at invoice examples
Invoice Template Belgium Organizations must have professionally designed invoice for producing the best impact on their clients. The account will be your sales deal's last part that should get listed inside the customer's mind. Isn't it pleasant to shut the specials having an amazing, successfully- made bill?
A skillfully created account is essential in building the credibility of your organization, prompting the client to be in your costs easily and to ask for your services again, therefore helping your business grow. When doubting the invoice's guru, the client may take to settle your fee and your revenue can be really affected by that. As you can quickly access a design which will suit your sort of enterprise or sector that you don't have to get overwhelmed by this job of invoicing. Choosing the appropriate design helps protecting plenty of money and time.
Firstly, you should be ready to identify the necessities of the theme that is great. Selected capabilities are typical to many bills. For instance, it has to truly have the name of the company and its own handle, in addition to the contact info of the consumer. It fundamentally explains solutions offered's sort for providing them along with the value decided. Typically, their brand is included by corporations in the bill and, depending on business' nature, they could note the fee terms and the break down of services or items offered.
Having created of everything you involve, an idea, it becomes easier to restrict your choices. Often, software applications give templates, but these can be somewhat costly, especially for smaller businesses. You can even buy individual themes online. The Web offers a good number of helpful methods for conducting your company. You can also get account themes free of charge.
It is simple to create an account by making use of the account themes provided without charge on the net, containing all-the important characteristics. You may get various types of accounts. You might have an invoice for supplying any unique company or items or perhaps work. In addition, you can find themes for pro-forma invoices. You'll find free themes in a sizable array of forms, and a few of them might already be there in your PC, including Microsoft Word, HTML, Microsoft Excel and PDF etc. Several free templates include time saving functions, including regular images, along with other possibilities you may like including in your personal brand – intelligent insertion of day of invoicing, built-in formula program and drop-down choices – allowing you to select various items to adjust ideally the theme for your requirements.
Having ultimately created the invoice design, you'll have to produce it. Below, again, you've some choices. For starters, you could simply customize your account format and produce the invoice inside your workplace, and publish them to your consumer. You may perhaps electronically transmit your invoice, utilising the email. At times, you might need to provide empty bills to your offering staff, permitting them to prepare bills immediately and to hand over them to consumers for collecting funds. It's also possible to consider having a combination of each one of these.

Re: Nathaniel Abney tombstone
In reply to:
Re: Nathaniel Abney tombstone
Robert H. Abney 1/13/04
According to "Our Saluda County Ancestors, Vo. 2" put out by the Saluda County Historical Society (2000), the Nathaniel Abney Cemetery is at approx. N34 degrees, 10.41' W81 degrees 44.30".What that means is that as you cross over the Saluda River on Hwy 121 from Newberry Co. into Saluda co. the cemetery is down the first dirt path to the right from the bridge.The cemetery, which is without tombstones, is back about 1/2 mile from the road on the left "in a small grove of trees on a slight knoll".The land now belongs to the Southern Brick Company. It used to belong to Nathaniel.He and Francis Higgins, who lived on the other side of the river, ran Higgins Ferry which was located at about the spot where the bridge is today. The story I heard in Saluda County when I was there about two years ago is that someone took the headstone and has it in his fireplace in Saluda.
